Yes, my nickname is based on the fact I enjoyed Final Fantasy - and that I had renamed the main character of FFX as Micah in my copy which has given me a rather unique internet nick for years. I don't know that I consider myself a "fan", but I have enjoyed many RPGs by Square over the years - Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, and Legend of Mana come to mind.

As to deducing the possible clue, it was just a shot in the dark. If Stanstar had still had the game open, yes would have led to progress (saving a tiny bit of time) and no would simply have led to producing the available clues.
